Posted Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed. COURTESY POST Mutt Love wants to help others in need. Please take a look at our Courtesy Post pups who are in need of a loving home.
Ellie May is a very nice dog, sweet, attentive, active & playful. She was rescued from a high kill shelter, her babies were adopted and now it's her turn for a great life of her own. You guess her breed and you win a dog! She loves kids and adults but should probably be an only dog. Ellie May is very playful, and loves to be held and cuddled, she could be convinced to be a lap puppy. She is a very sweet, affectionate girl, who loves attention. She enjoys running, playing with a tennis ball, and afterwards likes to sit by your side to rest. She needs a little leash training, but hey who doesn't?

American Pit Bull Terrier-American Staffordshire Terrier Mix

If you’re looking to adopt a dog and don’t know where to start, puppyfinder.com is an excellent source for information about adopting a dog and will connect you with hundreds of shelters across the US that have adoptable puppies and older dogs waiting for forever homes.

Do your research – find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.

Decide what you can handle – before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you’re about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don’t have time for potty training and obedience classes you’ll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.

Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies – It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don’t be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet.

Start looking… Once you know what you’re looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.

Meet in person. Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can’t get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.

Posted Breed: Chihuahua / Jack Russell Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Andy was found as a stray in Southern VA. He is young, weighs 10 lbs, and we think he may be a Chihuahua/ JRT mix. He's now fully housebroken. He loves to play with other dogs, and the squeaky toys he used to be afraid of are now FUN! He loves everyone except for the neighbor's cat...we're not too sure about that since he barked at one in the next yard. He is very sweet and loves to be curled up near his foster mom or on her lap.

Posted Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). Poor Hazel was found locked in the yard of an empty house when she was about 3 months old. A good Samaritan took care of her for several months but could not keep her. Hazel will be 3 yrs old in Mar 2015, and is a very playful and active pup. She is an affectionate girl who would probably be best as an only dog or in a home with experienced owners who have experience with the breed.

Posted Breed: Pointer / Mixed (short coat). Pilot is about 3 yrs old and a big boy of around 70 lbs. He would love a home with a fenced yard in which to run and play. He has earned his certificate as a Canine Good Citizen but will need a home with no children and an experienced and strong pack leader because of his tendencies to resource guard things he perceives as his own.

Posted Breed: Beagle / Mixed. COURTESY POST: Mutt Love wants to help others in need.
James is a handsome tricolor large Beagle mix boy. He's about 3 yrs old and 35 lbs. He is very sweet and affectionate, and good on a leash. He must have had quite a life story, as he only has half a tail, and he's not telling. James is very partial to chews and treats, and like most Beagles, he loves his food, which makes training a lot easier. He does not like some dogs, so it would be best if he were an only dog.

Posted Breed: Collie / Hound / Mixed. Seymour is a wonderful collie/hound mix who came into the high-kill shelter with the number 9 painted on his side. The number has since faded, and hopefully so have Seymour's memories of a not-so-good past. You see, Mutts has promised Seymour nothing but the best for his future. Seymour is full grown and is around 40 pounds and hoping that you will be the one to make this promise come true. A fenced yard is a must for this high energy guy and a commitment to long walks which he will love to take with you each day. When he does settle down, he loves to snuggle in bed. He is not recommended for an apartment or condominium as he can be very vocal at times. Seymour gets along with other dogs but shows a preference for the girls.

Posted Breed: Boxer / Mixed (short coat). Petey and Savannah found themselves in a gassing shelter with their names at the top of the list to be euthanized the next morning. Mutts stepped in just in the nick of time (at 11:30 pm the night before!) to save both of their lives. Petey is a great fellow with such a sweet, submissive demeanor. He is guessed to be 2 yrs old, and about 45 lbs. His pal Savannah has been adopted and he's ready to go to his new forever home too!

Posted Breed: Hound / Mixed (short coat). Donovan is about 2 yrs old and 50 lbs. He came from a rural shelter that was brimming full and we knew he probably wouldn't make it out if we didn't take him. How can you deny that face?? Donovan would prefer a home with other dogs to play with and a yard with a high fence.

Posted Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Cookie is a sweet, friendly, and playful girl.. and look at those adorable ears! While she may seem a little hyper when you meet her, she really does calm down in a home environment. She is convinced she is a lap dog even though she weighs 40 pounds! She also will crawl around on her tummy, which is totally adorable. Cookie is very interested in meeting new dogs on her walks; however, if they bark or growl at her, she will return the favor. She does great in doggie daycare and almost never barks, unless it is in response to another dog. Cookie should not go to a home where there are cats. She is about 2 yrs old and house-broken and crate-trained.

Posted Breed: Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat). Serita is a beautiful brindle girl who has a familiar story. She was a stray in a rural shelter who was out of time until Mutts came along to save her. Serita is a young adult weighing about 40 lbs. She is super affectionate and never met a lap she didn't like. She gets along with most dogs and seems to be great with all people but does not understand why there are cats. We think she deserves a chance to be loved forever in a happy home!

Posted Breed: Beagle / Hound / Mixed (short coat). Carson is one of Mutts' long distance saves - all the way from Georgia. It took some doing and a lot of planning and the involvement of a lot of people, but he's here and he was worth the effort!!! Carson is about 1 to 2 years, about 35 pounds and is a long-legged, sweet, handsome boy. He is SUPER friendly and never met a stranger.
